The Olympic torch relay in Paris has been cut short after chaotic protests by anti-China demonstrators.
Torch had to be put out
The flame had already been extinguished four times by security forces after repeated clashes with pro-Tibet and human rights campaigners.
The demonstrations also saw the city's mayor cancel a ceremony to mark the torch's passing.
The decision was made after a Tibetan flag was draped over the city hall's facade.
Thousands of police sent on to the streets to protect the torch relay as it made its way around the city were unable to prevent demonstrators hijacking the event.
is the Olympic torch coming 2 SL ???
